Peru is, among other things, famous for llamas and alpacas. You can meet them all over the Andes. But there is one thing which surprised me a lot: around Huaraz, where the mountains are even higher than near Cusco, you won’t find llamas and alpacas. Instead, this Andean landscape is populated by cows. So only if you trek in the surroundings of Cusco will you be able to see Peruvian llamas and alpacas, like those in the pictures below.
In Huaraz and the Cordillera Blanca prepared for cows! The mountains are full of them.
